If realized losses occur upon the sale of Fund shares, the capital loss is recorded as a tax benefit, which increases the return.Purchases of Class A shares of $1 million or more will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redemptions made within two years of purchase. The CDSC on Class B shares applies only if shares are redeemed within six years of their purchase. The CDSC on Class C shares applies only if shares are redeemed within twelve months of their purchase. See pages 17-18 of the Prospectus for more information about the CDSCs.Pursuant to a Fee Waiver Agreement, SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. ("SunAmerica" or the "Adviser") is contractually obligated to waive its advisory fee with respect to the Fund so that the aggregate advisory fee payable by the Fund to SunAmerica does not exceed an annual rate of 0.95% of average daily net assets. This Fee Waiver Agreement became effective on July 2, 2012 and will continue in effect until January 31, 2014, unless earlier terminated by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees.Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. ("SunAmerica") is contractually obligated to waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.90%, 2.55%, 2.55% and 1.80% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares, respectively. For purposes of the Expense Limitation Agreement, "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" shall not include extraordinary expenses, as determined under generally accepted accounting principles, or acquired fund fees and expenses. This agreement will continue in effect indefinitely, unless terminated by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees.Any waivers or reimbursements made by SunAmerica pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement are subject to recoupment from the Fund within two years after the occurrence of the waivers and/or reimbursements, provided that the Fund is able to effect such payment to SunAmerica and remain in compliance with the expense caps in effect at the time the waivers and/or reimbursements occurred. SunAmerica may not recoup any advisory fees waived with respect to the Fund pursuant to the Fee Waiver Agreement described in Note 2 above.Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase as described in the section entitled "Shareholder Account Information" on page 17 of the Prospectus. Therefore, expense information for years 9 and 10 is the same for both Class A and Class B shares.The Fund changed its benchmark from the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (Net) to the MSCI Japan Index (Net) in the light of the change in the name of the Fund and changes to the Fund's investment strategy and techniques that became effective January 27, 2012.Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, SunAmerica Asset Management Corp.

The value oriented philosophy to which the Fund partly subscribes is that of investing in securities believed to be undervalued in the market. The selection criteria is usually calculated to identify stocks of companies with solid financial strength that have attractive valuations (<i>e.g.</i>, as measured by low price earnings ratios) and that may have been generally overlooked by the market. The strategy of international investing involves investing substantially all of the Fund&#8217;s assets in foreign (non-U.S.) securities (&#8220;foreign securities&#8221;).</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The principal investment technique of the Fund is to employ a &#8220;buy and hold&#8221; strategy with approximately 50 to 100 high dividend yielding equity securities selected annually from the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index ex-U.S. Index (&#8220;MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index&#8221;).&#160;At least 80% of the Fund&#8217;s net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, will be invested in dividend yielding equity securities.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund expects to invest primarily in common stocks, and to a lesser extent, preferred stocks, and may invest in companies of any size.&#160;In addition, the Fund is not limited in the amount it may invest in any one country, and its investments may include securities of emerging markets.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The selection criteria used by the Fund&#8217;s portfolio managers to identify high dividend yielding equity securities from the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index will generally include dividend yield as well as a combination of factors that relate to profitability and valuation. The number of securities selected each year for inclusion in the Fund&#8217;s portfolio will be determined at the discretion of the portfolio managers and will depend on, among other things, the impact the number of securities held is expected to have on the potential for overall dividend yield in the portfolio, as well as market conditions. The Fund intends to initially invest in approximately 50 securities. While the securities selection process will take place on an annual basis, the portfolio managers may, from time to time, substitute certain securities for those selected for the Fund or reduce the position size of a portfolio security in between the annual rebalancings under certain limited circumstances. These circumstances will generally include where a security held by the Fund no longer meets the dividend yield criteria or when the value of a security becomes a disproportionately large percentage of the Fund&#8217;s holdings, in the discretion of the portfolio managers.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund will be evaluated and adjusted at the discretion of the portfolio managers on an annual basis. The annual consideration of the securities that meet the selection criteria will take place on or about November 1, with the first annual consideration following the initial selection to occur on or about November 1, 2013. Immediately after the Fund buys and sells securities in connection with the Fund&#8217;s annual rebalancing, it will hold approximately an equal value of each of the 50 to 100 securities. For example, the Fund would invest about 1/50th of its assets in each of the securities that make up its portfolio if the Fund were to select 50 securities. Thereafter, when an investor purchases shares of the Fund, the Adviser will generally invest additional funds in the pre-selected securities based on each security&#8217;s respective percentage of the Fund&#8217;s assets at the time.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund employs a strategy to hold securities between its annual rebalancing, even if there are adverse developments concerning a particular security, an industry, the economy or the stock market generally. Due to changes in the market value of the securities held by the Fund, it is likely that the weighting of the stocks in its portfolio will fluctuate throughout the course of the year.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The principal investment strategy and principal investment techniques of the Fund may be changed without shareholder approval. You will receive at least 60 days&#8217; notice of any change to the 80% investment policy set forth above.</font> </p>INVESTMENT GOAL<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The investment goal of the SunAmerica International Dividend Strategy Fund (the &#8220;International Dividend Strategy Fund&#8221; or the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) is total return (including capital appreciation and current income).</font> </p>PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">There can be no assurance that the Fund&#8217;s investment goal will be met or that the net return on an investment in the Fund will exceed what could have been obtained through other investment or savings vehicles. Shares of the Fund are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank, government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to achieve its investment goals. If the value of the assets of the Fund goes down, you could lose money.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The following is a summary description of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2"></font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2" color="#27A5C0"><b>Market Volatility and Securities Selection.</b></font> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund invests significantly in equity securities. As with any equity fund, the value of your investment in the Fund may fluctuate in response to stock market movements. In addition, the performance of the Fund may be subject to greater fluctuation when a smaller number of securities are held by the Fund and thus, the Fund&#8217;s risk may increase when it holds closer to 50 securities rather than closer to 100 securities. You should be aware that the performance of &#8220;value&#8221; stocks and &#8220;growth&#8221; stocks may rise or decline under varying market conditions &#8212; for example, &#8220;value&#8221; stocks may perform well under circumstances in which &#8220;growth&#8221; stocks in general have fallen. When investing in value stocks which are believed to be undervalued in the market, there is a risk that the market may not recognize a security&#8217;s intrinsic value for a long period of time, or that a security judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. In addition, individual securities selected for the Fund may underperform the market generally.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2"></font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2" color="#27A5C0"><b>International Investing.</b></font> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">When investing internationally, the value of your investment may be affected by fluctuating currency values, changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, and greater market volatility. In addition, foreign securities may not be as liquid as domestic securities and are subject to settlement practices and regulatory and financial reporting standards that differ from those in the U.S. Also, while the Fund seeks to invest in a wide range of countries, volatility in a single country or region in which the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets may affect performance. In addition, the markets of emerging market countries are typically more volatile and potentially less liquid than more developed markets. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments and may present the risk of nationalization of businesses, expropriation, confiscatory taxation or, in certain instances, reversion to closed market, centrally planned economies.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2"></font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2" color="#27A5C0"><b>Small and Mid Market Capitalization.</b></font> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">Stocks of small-cap companies, and to a lesser extent, mid-cap companies, may be more volatile than, and not as readily marketable as, those of larger companies.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2"></font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2" color="#27A5C0"><b>Disciplined Strategy.</b></font> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund will not deviate from its strategy (except to the extent necessary to comply with federal tax laws or other applicable laws). If the Fund is committed to a strategy that is unsuccessful, the Fund will not meet its investment goal. Because the Fund generally will not use certain hedging techniques available to other mutual funds to reduce stock market exposure, the Fund may be more susceptible to general market declines than other mutual funds.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2"></font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2" color="#27A5C0"><b>Preferred Stock.</b></font> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The value of preferred stock will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of preferred stock. Preferred stock is also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of preferred stock will fail to make its dividend payments. Preferred stock is inherently more risky than the bonds and other debt instruments of the issuer, but typically less risky than its common stock. Preferred stock may be significantly less liquid than many other securities, such as U.S. Government securities, corporate debt and common stock.</font> </p>If the value of the assets of the Fund goes down, you could lose money.Shares of the Fund are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank, government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.PERFORMANCE INFORMATION*<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The following Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table illustrates the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund&#8217;s performance from calendar year to calendar year, and compares the Fund&#8217;s average annual returns to those of the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index (Net), a broad measure of market performance.

In particular, the investment process incorporates traditional assessments of financial strength and management credibility with a disciplined approach to determining the current state of investor sentiment toward each industry and securities within the investment universe. The primary principle behind this process is that markets overreact to unexpected negative news, causing share prices to deeply undervalue near-term information.</font> </p> <br/><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The principal investment strategy and principal investment techniques of the Fund may be changed without shareholder approval.

During periods of increased market volatility, active trading may be more pronounced.</font> </p>If the value of the assets of the Fund goes down, you could lose money.Shares of the Fund are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank, government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.PERFORMANCE INFORMATION<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:0px;"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The following Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table illustrates the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund&#8217;s performance from calendar year to calendar year, and compares the Fund&#8217;s average annual returns to those of the Russell&#160;1000<font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="1"><sup style="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">&#174;</sup></font> Value Index, a broad measure of market performance.
